Something is Killing the Children #0: A Glimpse into Erica Slaughter’s Past

Well, now, y’all, if you’ve been followin’ this “Something is Killing the Children” comic, then you probably know how big of a deal it’s become. It’s been five whole years since this spooky, heart-poundin’ series hit the shelves and shook the comic world. And now, we got somethin’ new comin’ up—“Something is Killing the Children #0.” It’s a special issue, a prequel, or a look-back, I reckon, at the main character, Erica Slaughter, and where she came from before she showed up in Archer’s Peak. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s got people buzzin’! Ain’t no surprise, ‘cause the last few years, this comic has been a hit—award-winnin’, world-changin’, the whole shebang.

This here issue, “#0,” drops on November 6, 2024, and folks are already chompin’ at the bit to get their hands on it. Now, if you ain’t familiar, Erica Slaughter, she’s the one who’s been huntin’ down monsters, doin’ the dirty work that no one else can or will. She’s a tough cookie, no doubt about it. But this special issue promises to dive into her past, what made her the fierce gal we’ve come to know, and maybe, just maybe, explain a few things about where all this horror and bloodshed started. Sounds good, don’t it?

“Something is Killing the Children #0” is put together by James Tynion IV, the writer, and Werther Dell’Edera, the artist. They’ve worked together before on this series and have been called one of the best comic teams out there. They really know how to make the story twist and turn, always keepin’ you on the edge of your seat, never knowin’ what’s comin’ next. I reckon that’s why folks love it so much—ain’t no predictable stuff in this comic, that’s for sure.

What to Expect from #0

This issue ain’t part of the main storyline, but it sure as heck gives us some insight into Erica’s past and what led her to start fightin’ the things that go bump in the night. From what I hear, we’ll get to see how Erica first learned about the monsters, the whole mess she got herself into before she ever set foot in Archer’s Peak. So, if you’ve been wonderin’ what makes Erica tick, now’s your chance to find out.

It was originally scheduled for release back in September, but like most things these days, it got pushed back. Now, it’s all set to drop on November 6, and fans can’t wait.

Erica Slaughter’s World is Expanding

The comic series has come a long way since it first hit the shelves. It went from bein’ just another horror comic to somethin’ that people couldn’t stop talkin’ about. And now, with this #0 issue, the story’s gettin’ bigger. I reckon this special issue will give us even more reason to love this series and keep us comin’ back for more.
